Several of these have claims including Temple Road, Ask The Guru and King Crimson, who finished in a heap at Lingfield last month with Pucon further behind. But SAVED MY BACON (NAP) gets another chance having found only the progressive Bosham too good on three occasions this year including higher grade sprints over track and trip the last twice. Summer Isles has been making the most of a slide down the weights but Welease Bwian has something to find with the selection on running here last month.
